To determine the emotional effect of the refrain's variation in the fifth stanza of "Lord Randall," we need to analyze the poem's text and the changes in the refrain itself. Here's how you can do that:
1. Read the fifth stanza of "Lord Randall" carefully. Pay attention to the words used and the overall tone of the stanza.
Stanza 5: "Ye lied, ye lied, ye filthy hound,
Sae loud's I heard ye lie;
For I hae been to the greenwood,
And I hae seen Peggy Sinclair."
2. Compare the fifth stanza with previous stanzas that contain the refrain. Look for any variations in the words, tone, or emotions expressed in the refrain.
3. Note any changes in the repetition pattern of the refrain. Are there any alterations in the rhythm, rhyme, or emphasis placed on particular words?
4. Analyze the emotions conveyed by the refrain's variation. Consider the context of the poem and the character of Lord Randall. How do the changes in the refrain affect the overall emotional impact? Does it intensify certain feelings or introduce a new element to the narrative?
Once you have analyzed these elements, you can form an understanding of the emotional effect of the refrain's variation in the fifth stanza of "Lord Randall."
